A City That Doesn't Know Your Name

Cracked sidewalks hold stories no one reads,
a rat darts past the pile of old papers.
Storefronts stare blank, windows like tired eyes,
reflecting a sky too cold to care.
Glass crunches underfoot, shards of quiet,
the city hums a song without words.
I walk through its veins, invisible,
a ghost among cracked stones and cold light.
